Mr. Brozosky was glad to see some homes of this size brought into the City of Pleasanton and he was not against the removal of the walnut tree. The only change he would like made, if Council is amenable, is to add landscaping around the carports on Peters Street. Ms. McGovern supported the project and would prefer turf other then concrete pavers. She supported garage doors with lighting and possible storage above where the carpools end on B1 and B2. She also preferred additional landscaping added to soften the treescape along Peters Avenue and would like for staff to work with Mr. Winter on marketing the City's Down- Payment Assistant Program. Mr. Thorne supported the project and encouraged the marketing of the City's Down- Payment Assistant Program. Mr. Sullivan asked if the applicant would be allowed to pick and choose to whom he sold the properties and if there were any laws that governed this? Pleasanton City Council Minutes 28 09/20/05
